The RockOn workshop is intended to be an introductory flight opportunity to provided exposure to, and spark interest in, space based science missions. This is accomplished by flying two classes of experiments. First time participants generally fly the simpler kit built experiment. As educational institutions gain more experience, it is expected they will progress towards developing their own unique RockSat-C class experiments.
The rocket carried both RockOn workshop experiments, and the more advanced RockSat-C experiments.
This was the 16th flight of the RockOn payload.
The Principal Investigator is Mr. Christopher Koehler/NASA Wallops Flight Facility.
